Synopsis

Dr. Faust is deeply consumed by his pursuit of knowledge and ultimate pleasure. One day, the demon Mephistopheles appears in human form in Faust's study and offers him a bargain: a lifetime of complete pleasure in exchange for the life of his fiancée, Margaret. Faust agrees, but soon comes to understand the impossibility of transcending the boundaries of knowledge and the divine limits set by God.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 9

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
